...current remakes are dark and violent. Ninja Hattori-kun (Hattori the Ninja)?based on a 1960s comic and 1980s cartoon of the same name?comes out in August and stars Shingo Katori, of the popular boy band SMAP, as an overearnest ninja who moves from a feudal village to modern Tokyo, where he serves a nine-year-old master. Hattori speaks in outdated formalities, struggles to maintain the ninja code of self-concealment in the crowded city, and ends up in all sorts of trouble. The other big-ticket remake now in the works is Tetsujin 28-go (Iron...
Half a century ago, when he was 19, Crown Prince Hirohito of Japan boarded the battleship Katori for a six-month grand tour of Europe. The trip only whetted his appetite for more: in Paris, he told an American newsman that he hoped a visit to the U.S. would only be a briefly "deferred pleasure." It turned out to be a long postponement. Soon after he returned home in 1921, Hirohito was declared Prince Regent for his deranged father; by 1926 he was Emperor, and a few years later Japan embarked on the ill-starred experiment in expansionism that finally...
...trip itself will be a rather engaging spectacle. Not long ago, Hirohito confessed that he still kept an old Paris Metro ticket as a memento of the freest, happiest days of his life. In 1921, when he was Crown Prince, Hirohito boarded the battleship Katori for a six-month tour of Europe. His jet flight this week will get him there in 15 hours, instead of the 65 days it took the lumbering Katori to reach England. Accompanied by the Empress Nagako, 68, who has never been abroad, Hirohito will visit seven European countries...
There U.S. warplanes had a good haul. They sank 41 enemy ships and damaged 28 more (almost 200,000 tons). The toll included two entire convoys, a Katori-class light cruiser and the dismantled French cruiser Lamotte-Picquet. But the most damaging blows were the sinkings of tankers bearing oil from the Indies and strikes against oil refineries at Saigon. The enemy put up what aircraft he could to defend his supposedly sheltered outposts; 112 were shot down...
Much less sense was made last week by officers of the N.Y.K.-greatest Japanese steamship line-who walked off the steamer Katori Maru at Yokohama, saying they had "gone on strike as a patriotic protest because the N.Y.K. last Oct. 29 failed to order all its ships in all parts of the world to hoist the Rising Sun flag while the Emperor was reviewing the Grand Fleet." This inconveniences Emperor Hirohito who intends that the Heian Maru, off which the strikers also walked, shall carry his brother Prince Chichibu to represent Japan at the Coronation in London. To be sure...
